The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2207 - 2209: Wherever Ye Zi’an Goes, Blood Will Surely Be Spilled

"Xiao’an, you’ve become quite impressive," Mu Shaoling remarked, smiling over a few sips of tea. "There’s a saying circulating outside. Have you heard it?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What saying?"

"Wherever Ye Zi’an goes, there will be a bloody storm. From what I know, there are now many officials who are especially afraid of your arrival," Mu Shaoling mentioned, having heard much of it along the way. In Zhejiang, large quantities of silver were confiscated, and in Yunchuan, a town was wiped out, sparking widespread discussions.

"Afraid of my arrival? It only shows they have guilty consciences. The more they act this way, the more I want to go," Ye Zi’an replied, glancing at him. "The Great Zhou’s rotten teeth are countless. If we don’t act, fine. But once we do, we must pull them out completely to prevent the disease from spreading."

"Alright, you’re formidable."

"Is everything in the Capital City alright? How is Dongyang and the child?"

Mu Shaoling appeared somewhat conflicted but responded, "All is well. It’s just that the Empress frequently summons Dongyang to the palace. As you know, Dongyang doesn’t like palace visits at all."

On hearing this, Yang Chuxia immediately understood the Empress’s intentions. "She’s a bit too eager, isn’t she? Isn’t she afraid of the Emperor’s dissatisfaction?" The Emperor had ascended the throne for less than a year, and she already started rallying courtiers for her son, implying she hoped the Emperor would soon die.

"Indeed, he’s very dissatisfied," Mu Shaoling shook his head. "When I left the Capital City, the Emperor hinted that I should send Dongyang to stay at a villa while I returned. He wanted him back when I returned to the Capital City. The Emperor has already reprimanded the Empress’s father twice in the court. If she doesn’t restrain herself, even the Eldest Imperial Prince will be affected. You might not know, but she not only summons Dongyang to the palace but also frequently summons the Tong Family."

"What’s the reason she summons the Tong Family?" Yang Chuxia was a bit puzzled.

Ye Zi’an responded, "The Second Prince is currently being raised by the Empress."

"Alright," Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but sigh. "Once someone assumes that position, both men and women have to change, don’t they?"

"Oh right, about your two younger brothers, have you heard? One went to Cangzhou, and the other to Yunzhou Prefecture. Your two children and Linyu all returned to Funan," Mu Shaoling continued. "If you weren’t away from Funan, I would have sent Dongyang there to avoid having him always going to the palace."

"They wrote to me, and they both passed the Advanced Scholar exam." She was very pleased that both her brothers passed, believing this would change the Yang Family’s fortunes.

Speaking of this, Mu Shaoling chuckled again, "Fortunately, you all are not in the Capital City, otherwise your doorstep would be worn out. Many people have been asking me about the two of them. It’s one thing that Qingrui got married, but Qingtong has become quite the catch."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"It certainly is. They want to form a marriage alliance with your royal house through him," Mu Shaoling commented.

Ye Zi’an laughed, "Their plans might fall through. My little brother-in-law already has someone in mind."

"Qingtong has someone in mind? Which family’s daughter? And how come I didn’t know?" Yang Chuxia curiously eyed him. How did he know what she didn’t? But she was more interested in which family the girl came from.

"Don’t ask which family. Just know that she’s a good girl. You should trust Qingtong’s judgment," Ye Zi’an said mysteriously, "Just get ready to prepare a gift when the time comes."

"Hey...so mysterious? You’re not even letting us know?"

Mu Shaoling was equally curious, "Since you know, just tell us. Qingtong is not young anymore, so there’s nothing to hide. If it’s a girl from the Capital City, it would be proper for Yang Chuxia to help arrange the marriage proposal."
